They were just there for the fun of it, but they never expected to overhear such a secret.
As a major force in the martial arts world, Mingyue Manor has always had a good reputation, especially its master Yan Ping, who is known by some as a "living bodhisattva". How could it be so despicable inside?
Normally, people wouldn't dare listen to their commotion. But at the Immortal's Fate Inn, they had no such concerns.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You traitor, not only do you not know how to repent, but you also dare to slander the reputation of the manor." If he didn't have a shred of reason left, Yan Chengde would have loved to kill the person who insulted the manor's reputation.
"Reputation?" Hua Yue recalled the terrible past, her eyes filled with tears. "Mingyue Manor is clearly just trying to gain fame. Does Yan Ping dare to confront us? Oh, by the way, if we don't want to be sent away, we might have to become your concubines."
Yan Chengde could no longer control himself and drew his sword to stab Hua Yue.
The next second, a second-rate expert was unable to fight back at all and was knocked to the ground by an invisible force.
Hua Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped away her tears, looked at the angry men glaring at her, and glared back fiercely.
The owner of Mingyue Manor was secretly engaged in shady business! This news was truly shocking, and everyone looked at each other, unsure of who to believe.
An Ge witnessed the whole thing. She couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong yet, but Hua Yue was not only her guest but also her employee. What kind of behavior was it to hurt someone in her inn?
"Settle your scores outside the inn. Didn't you see the inn rules written in big letters?"
The whispers that had been going on immediately stopped when the shop manager appeared.
Don't be fooled by her easygoing nature; if you anger her, the consequences will be far beyond what they can handle.
Shi Xinyi was also stunned by Hua Yue's words. After regaining her senses, she realized the seriousness of the problem. The reputation of Mingyue Manor could not be damaged, otherwise she herself would be unable to clear her name.
Just as Shi Xinyi was about to speak, she heard a clear voice. Looking in the direction of the sound, a flash of jealousy quickly crossed her eyes.
She prided herself on her natural beauty, believing she could rival even the most beautiful woman in the capital, but the person before her turned her pride into a joke.
"This must be the store manager," Shi Xinyi said, giving a slight curtsy.
"Senior brother's impulsiveness was wrong, please forgive him, shopkeeper. Senior sister Huayue not only betrayed the sect that raised them, but also tarnished the reputation of the manor, which is why senior brother couldn't help himself. I'm sure the shopkeeper won't protect such an unrighteous person."
After hearing her words, Yan Chengde was deeply moved and dared not get angry at An Ge. He could only glare angrily at his fiancée, who was standing in the background.
An Ge stared at Shi Xinyi with a look of amusement, not missing the fleeting malice in her eyes.
Are you trying to use manipulative tactics on her?
An Ge lazily pulled out an exquisite mirror and fiddled with it. "This is a mirror for examining the heart. It can see into people's hearts and tell who is lying with just one look. Do you dare to do it? Let me make it clear first, if you lie, the consequences will be very serious."
"I dare! I'm not afraid of the store manager. I can guarantee that everything I say is true," Hua Yue said loudly, eager to prove herself.
In contrast, Yan Chengde looked away as everyone turned their gazes toward him, his previous arrogance completely gone.
He knew his father better than anyone else what kind of person he was, and he might actually do such a thing.
But if he were to admit it, not only would the reputation of the manor be ruined, but his father would also not forgive him.
what to do?
Yan Chengde was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and cold sweat poured down his face.
"Senior brother?" Shi Xinyi was put in an awkward position by Yan Chengde's hesitation, and she almost lost her gentle demeanor under the veil.
Faced with increasingly suspicious looks from the crowd, Yan Chengde was overcome with rage and spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at Hua Yue with a trembling finger, seemingly heartbroken by his junior sister's betrayal. "The innocent are innocent. Junior sister has a deep misunderstanding of the manor. I, I..." Then, he fainted to the ground.
An Ge couldn't help but laugh at Yan Chengde's clumsy behavior.
She said sarcastically, "Shouldn't you be carrying him away right now?"
Only then did the group realize what was happening, and with their faces flushed, they carried Yan Chengde away.
Shi Xinyi was extremely embarrassed. She had always had a smooth life, and this was the first time she had suffered such a big setback. She felt both hatred and fear towards An Ge, and couldn't help but regret stepping forward just now.
While she hesitated, the people from Mingyue Manor left without saying goodbye, leaving her alone and feeling even more awkward.
"There must be some misunderstanding. I'll go take care of my senior brother first and clear things up later. Farewell." With that, Shi Xinyi forced herself to remain elegant and followed the others away.
Hua Yue watched the several figures leave in a disheveled state, then looked at An Ge like a little fangirl, "Thank you, Manager. If it weren't for you, my senior sister and I would have fallen into the fire pit again."
An Ge smiled and was about to say something when 777 suddenly spoke up, hurriedly nodded to everyone, and left.
"What's wrong?"
"Host, the aura of that person named Shi Xinyi just now seemed a bit off. You need to be careful."
An Ge thought about it and felt that apart from her personality being a bit uncomfortable, there was nothing particularly special about her.
"I suspect she is the chosen one of this plane."
"Huh?" An Ge picked at her ears. Had she misheard?
"How can there be such a magical existence as a woman of destiny? Then is there also a child of destiny?"
“Yes. Every plane has its favored people, but you don’t need to worry too much, host. They can’t affect us,” 777 comforted.
"If my luck level increases, does that mean I'm also favored?"
777 poured cold water on the idea: "Host, do you really think you're lucky?"
"Heh! Don't tell me there are reincarnated people and transmigrators?" In the novels I read in my previous life, there were quite a few such cases.
"It's not impossible... but don't worry, host, this plane guarantees there's only one system. Compared to them, you are the most powerful."
An Ge was speechless. She originally thought she was in a wilderness survival script, but then she found out it was a 996 script, and now she was being told that it might be a supporting female role script.
"With 777, the host isn't a supporting female character." 777 said defiantly, as it wasn't a system confined to a single plane and wasn't bound by the Heavenly Dao of that plane.
"I knew Tongtong was the most capable. But if these special people appear, can you detect them all?"
"We can't be completely sure of the other party's identity, but we can always find something amiss. However, if we encounter other systems in the future, I won't be able to test them so easily."
"What do you mean by encountering other systems?" Does that mean she has the opportunity to meet other hosts?
777 suddenly stopped speaking, and no matter how much An Ge threatened it, it remained silent.
An Ge pursed her lips. It seemed that this little master was still hiding quite a few secrets from her!
After bickering with 777 for a while, An Ge's initial tension subsided. The system was right; she possessed a management system, but she wasn't from this world. What did being a chosen one or a chosen one have to do with her?
However, she didn't have a very good impression of the so-called "woman of destiny," and it was best for the two of them to avoid any interaction, otherwise she wouldn't care how much the other party was favored by the heavens!
